Topic starter   [#41529]

UPS has held my parcel for 36 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

The reference number on the letter is the only way anyone will find the file again, so it goes in the subject line of everything.

Photograph everything before you open it. It takes ten seconds and settles most disputes.

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Not on FedEx but the pattern is familiar.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened. Two months in on FedEx and it lines up.

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.
